Riding buddy wanted, Yeadon, Guiseley, Rawdon

Stavromuller

Hi, I'm looking for a riding buddy or two. I get to Esholt or Danefield about once a week and a bit further afield about once a month. I'm 56, fit-ish and riding a hardtail GT, but looking at getting a Marin Mount Vision (a Christmas present to myself). Just need to get out more as my son is at uni and has lost interest.

Look on Chevin Cycles web sit or go into the shop as they do a mthly ride, or Bike Magic North Leeds they go out Tuesday & Thursday evenings.

Thanks for the advice stumpjumper, but I don't know if I've got the fittness or ability to keep up with a club

Except once a mth when we meet up with others from all over an do 4-5 hrs all ability on that ride. We go over to the Dales or Peaks.Your welcome to tag along if you wish.

Hi,
Ye we're going out B/hol Monday but not sorted out a route yet, as soon as i know then i'll post on here.

Stumpjumper25

We're meeting this Sunday 9th for a Peaks ride Ladybower route, meet opp Ladybower pub 10am for 10:30 off. It will be steady pace.

Stavromuller

Sounds good, I could be up for that. How long do you think it would take because I might have to drop the missus off at Meadowhall

Stumpjumper25

How long do you think it would take ?, do you mean the ride? or what time will we be getting back?.

which i can't answer as it depends on how people get on with the hills,how many pll turn up.
but put it this way i'd like to be sat in the pub by 2pm the latest.
